For the price of this film, four really good historical movies could have been made. You could also make a good action film about 1848 and not just about the fight for independence. It could even have been about Commander-in-Chief von Lederer, who in May of 1848 actually used a gun to break up the demonstration held against him in Buda.

Contrary to what is shown in the film as fiction, like fighting with knives and guns, shootings, jumping out the window, pregnant action heroine...you can't make this up.

This much nonsense and ahistoricity can only be condensed into more than two hours on purpose.

It fulfills the self serving, megalomaniacal desires of an untalented man.

The actors tried their best, but the script was so bad you can be the greatest actor ever, you cannot build something good from pure garbage.

One of the greatest event in the hungarian history, which literally makes every single hungarian proud it became a dumb class Z action movie with the overused clichés we saw million times already in modern cinematography.

The movie just wasnt able to pay the respect the revolutionists and this great event deserves.

We have lot of skillful professionals in the industry, maybe some day there will be a remake which wont serve the greediness and selfishness of a few but pays tribute to our great and brave ancestors.

Looking forward to it.

Sorry, I was hoping for more. This movie is more of a turbocharged costume marvel than a historical adventure. I expected more and especially a more faithful following of real events. When will we understand that a movie story is original. If it is based on real events, it should be better aligned with them. If it's made up, then write at the beginning that it's just a made up story. But then the names and places should be transformed accordingly.

That not really!

If the children taken out of school form an image of the events of 1948 based on this, it is not appropriate to grade their paper!

As a hungarian person I'm honestly embarrased that this is how the movie about one of our most important cultural figure and event turned out. The whole thing is very fustrating, since it could have been such an interesting movie about a resolution that was won with the power of the people without any bloodshed, but noooooo... Around 6 milliard hungarian forints and we get this garbage. I have never been this angry at a movie before. So much wasted potential...

Disclaimer: The actors, actresses did nothing bad, they were honestly the best part of the movie. It's just that they weren't give much to work with. Also, the costume and the set designers did an amazing job as well.

The 12 points: 1. The whole movie lacks all around any kind of emotional impact. Even when the dramatic music plays, you only feel nothing but confusion.

2. The story doesn't make sense. Scences just follow eachother without any connection or impact.

3. If you don't know anything about hungarian history, the movie is unwatchable. With out context, the charahters are nameless faces and things just happen without a real reason.

4. Most people don't even get a namerop or a proper introduction in the story, let alone a personality.

5. All most all scenes of a certain madeup plotline could have been cutband it would have shortened the movie by more than an hour.

6. The action scenes are completly out of place in this story. Most of them are also pointless and completly removable.

7. The scenes that copy famous movies are too much and the feel very odd in this story. This is a historical movie, not a superhero movie.

8. Trying to make this an action full film is somewhat destroying the point of the original historical event.

9. There is no charachter development and nothing that helps the watcher connect to any of the charahters.

10. The whole thing didn't have a message or any kind of wisdom. Despite being a very important event that decided the fate of our country's history, this felt like a soulless fictional retelling.

11. The hungarian voices sounded like a bad dub recorded after the movie even though the actors are hungarian. The voices also didn't match the actors lips in some places.

12. The CGI was a bit messy sometimes, but the resolution was more distracting. During some scenes everything looked as if you were watching a film someone uploaded to a pirate site.

Now or Never (although it's supposed to be a spectacular historical epic with a big budget), fails to keep you engaged during its unduly long running time of over two hours.

It has its better moments, but these moments are overshadowed by serious dramaturgical errors, tragicomic events, tiresome formal solutions and largely boring characters based on archetypes. I feel sorry for the schoolchildren for whom this will be 'compulsory schooling'; it is certainly not for this reason that they will come to love Petofi, and it is certainly not for this reason that they will become interested in any historical events.

This money could have been put to a better use, and I'm very sorry to see that smaller but talented producers don't get a chance to prove themselves in Hungary, just because of politics - even though you can see, that there ARE talented guys (and girls) here working on epic movies like Dune or Poor Things.
